Yes. Pain in the back can affect a leg muscle.
This is named 'referred pain'.
It is wise to see a medical doctor when pain such as this lasts more than a 24 hours.

How does specialization in muscle and nerve cell affect their ability to reproduce?
Some cells have a greatly, or even completely, deminished ability to reproduce once they become specialized. Muscle and nerve cells are a prime example of this.
What causes muscle spasm?
The short answer is "concentrated lactic acid." Concentrated lactic acid can get trapped in the spindle in the muscle fiber and can not get out. When this lactic acid gets trapped in the muscle spindle the feedback nerves that are protected in the muscle spindle can only send a weak signal to the cerebellum. A weak signal from the feedback nerve to the cerebellum tells the cerebellum to contract a muscle. The feedback nerve is trying to send a strong signal which would tell the cerebellum to relax but because the concentrated lactic acid is trapped in the spindle and interfering with the feedback nerve the correct signal can not get to the brain. As a result the muscle keeps contracting and it never relaxes. The muscles gets stuck in this "bad signal loop" which causes many other problems in the body.
What muscle and nerve will you need to isolate to study the physiology of nerve fibers?
To study the physiology of nerve fibers, you would need to isolate a specific muscle and the nerve innervating that muscle. This allows for the investigation of the interaction between the nerve and muscle, observing the transmission of signals and studying the response of the muscle to nerve stimulation. Commonly studied muscles and nerves in this context include the gastrocnemius muscle and the sciatic nerve in animal models.
What carries electrical signals that affect muscle tissue?
motor nueronsNerve tissue carries electrical signals that affect muscle tissue. Nerve tissue's function is to move and coordinate the way the body functions.
Do you have a trapped nerve?
yes in my lower back
What does threshold mean in a muscle or nerve cell membrane?
Threshod is the amount of force or exertion that a muscle or nerve cell can withstand at the peak of stimulation. Extending over a threshold can lead to cell over-exertion and possible damage to the internal structures.
How might damage to the spine affect a reflex arc?
Damage to the spine can affect the reflex arc by delaying the nerve pathway or making it so you are unable to move a muscle.
